I understand what you mean Eccles,i only watch on the telly but i see him speaking to john a lot,i have wondered if directing him so much puts him off his game or he looks too much for direction and not enough of his own instinctsShe, dear!!
If any of you had bothered to read my post properly you would have noticed that I said about the players being scared of doing anything without looking over to the sideline for instructions, once the player is on the pitch he should be able to get on with the game, yes the manager should be able to give instructions, but not micro-management. As for the managers you mentioned I don't actually watch them, apart from Mancini and he didn't micro-manage, I support Manchester City!!
About to take the missus to her first match. If we keep a clean sheet I'll get her a season ticket.
Paddy Power is offering even odds on Tugay buying his missus a season ticket.

Our support is no different to anyone elses,it consists of people from every walk of society,as such its bound to attract a percentage who have a higher degree of self entitlement and/or a lack of patience - not for one minute did i think any other scenario would be evident should we hit the rough patch we're currently experiencing.
I look forward to the next part,the humble pie chapter ;-)
Sadly there are clearly a number of slapped arses who are showing themselves to be as bad as the Rags in so far as they expect everything to go smoothly from the off and expect the league won by Christmas.
Apart from the corruption and shit refereeing performances, ruining my enjoyment of the game, some of the posts on here are just downright pathetic and disappointing.
I know what you're saying. Actually, the general consensus on the board last season was that we would struggle this year due to the squad he was inheriting. Most of us could name no more than 3 or 4 that were "Pep players". But I think the frustration is due to the start we made, followed by a regression to Pellegrini football. Had our season been flipped the other way - yet still on the same points - we'd be happier. It just feels like we're becoming less of a Pep team every week rather than getting better. I think that is the greatest gripe people have.
I would say something that rhymes with "luck doff" but I am a gentleman... most of the time.Paddy Power just refused to give me odds on City spending the first 5 minutes pratting about at the back with the ball. Then Watford taking it off us and sticking it in the net. Said they had seen Pep's press conference and had closed that book.
